Term
| Differential Reinforcement |
|
Definition
| reinforcing only those responses within a response class that meet a specific criterion along some dimension and placing all other responses in the class on extinction |
|
|
Term
| Differential Reinforcement of Alternative Behavior (DRA) |
|
Definition
| reinforcement is delivered for a behavior that serves as a desirable alternative to the behavior targeted for reduction and withheld following instances of the problem behavior |
|
|
Term
| Differential Reinforcement for Incompatible Behavior (DRI) |
|
Definition
| reinforcement is delivered for a behavior that is topographically incompatible with the behavior targeted for reduction and withheld following instances of the problem behavior |
|
|
Term
| Differential Reinforcement for Low Rates (DRL) |
|
Definition
| reinforcement (a) follows each occurrence of the target behavior that is separated from the previous response by a minimum IRT or (b) in contingent on the number of responses within a period of time not exceeding a predetermined criterion, not meant to eliminate the behavior |
|
|
Term
| Differential Reinforcement of Other Behaivor (DRO) |
|
Definition
| reinforcement is contingent on the absence of the problem behavior during or at specific times (ie momentary DRO) |
|
|
Term
| Differential Reinforcement of Alternative Behavior (DRA) |
|
Definition
| A proce-dure for decreasing problem behavior in which reinforcement is delivered for a behavior that serves as a desirable alternative to the behavior targeted for reduction and withheld following instances of the problem behavior |
|
|
Term
| Differential Reinforcement for Incompatible Behavior (DRI) |
|
Definition
| A pro-cedure for decreasing problem behavior in which reinforcement is delivered for a behavior that is topographically incompatible with the behavior targeted for reduction and withheld following instances of the problem behavior |
|
|
Term
| Differential Reinforcement for Low Rates (DRL) |
|
Definition
| A schedule of reinforce-ment in which reinforcement (a) follows each occurrence of the target behavior that is separated from the previous response by a minimum interresponse time (IRT), or (b) is contingent on the number of responses within a period of time not exceeding a predetermined criterion. |
|
|
Term
| Differential Reinforcement of Other Behaivor (DRO) |
|
Definition
| A procedure for decreasing problem behavior in which reinforcement is contingent on the absence of the problem behavior during or at specific times |
|
|
Term
| Fixed-Interval DRO (FI-DRO) |
|
Definition
| reinforcement is available at the end of intervals of fixed duration and delivered contingent on the absence of the problem behavior during each interval |
|
|
Term
| Fixed-Momentary DRO (FM-DRO) |
|
Definition
| reinforcement is available at specific moments of time, which are separated by a fixed amount of time, and delivered contingent on the problem behavior no occurring at those moments |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| reinforcement is delivered at the end of the session if the total number of response emitted during the session does not exceed a criterion limit |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| A procedure for implementing DRL in which the total session is divided into equal intervals and reinforcement is provided at the end of each interval in which the number of responses during the interval is equal to or below a criterion limit |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| a procedure for implementing DRL in which the total session is divided into equal intervals and reinforcement is provided at the end of each interval in which the number of responses during the interval is equal to or below a criterion limit. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| A procedure for implementing DRL in which reinforcement follows each occurrence of the target behavior that is separated from the previous response by a minimum interresponse time. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| A DRO procedure in which reinforcement is available at the end of intervals of variable duration and delivered contingent on the absence of the problem behavior during the interval. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| A DRO procedure in which reinforcement is available at specific moments of time, which are separated by variable amounts of time in random sequence, and delivered if the problem behavior is not occurring at those times. |
